I have no idea what any of that means

i'll just keep using my canola mayo cause its better than light and regular

You could just make your own mayo? Pretty easy and cheaper.

If using raw eggs in mayonnaise makes you nervous, try this recipe, which not only dramatically reduces the sugar content but also partially cooks the eggs!
2 large egg yolks
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp water
1 tsp dry mustard
1 tsp salt
1 cup pure olive oil
Heat the egg yolks, lemon juice, water, and sugar in a small skillet over very low heat, stirring constantly. At the first sign of thickness, remove from heat and submerge in a large pan of cold water (you should continue stirring here to avoid creating citrus-y scrambled eggs?trust us!) Scoop mixture out of pan and into a food processor. Blend for a few seconds and then let mixture sit uncovered for at least 5 minutes to cool. Add remaining dry ingredients, and blend on low speed. Drizzle oil slowly into the mixture until all ingredients are combined. Scoop into a large glass container and chill immediately. Mayonaise should keep for at least one week if stored correctly.

Coconut oil is what we use for cooking now. If it is salad dressing then it is olive oil. My milk is now almond milk. Potatoes are sweet ones instead of Idaho.

The best part of the switch is my energy level stays up through the day. No more of the ups and downs based on my meals.

Here is a website we use for meal ideas.

Bacon grease.

Anyone make their own sausage? I usually buy it from the butcher case at mustardseed in Akron, but have been known to get bob evans sausage (note: some packages have glutamate or nitrites as ingrediants and others don't). Anyone find a particular brand that is primal friendly. I usually buy this because all I can find in butcher cases are italian sausages.

I definitely haven't had that issue with potatoes. Processed carbs are like crack, though.

We've focused more on eliminating processed foods rather than types of food. We still eat our CSA potatoes, bread (homemade only), occasional serving of "real" beans.

Yukon gold potatoes are as glorious as they are dangerous for me. They are a gateway to more potatoes.

sweet potatoes are fine, as often recommended here.

I grew up on meat, potatoes and rolls, as I am sure many of you did. I also grew up with the "clean your plate" mantra that still swims around in my head. These have been hard habits to break and ones that I fall back into from time to time.

The hardest thing though for me is coffee and beer or scotch. I admit it, I love em and have coffee daily, as well as, a couple of beers or a scotch. I am not talking about light beer either.

I have been known to come home from working out and drink a beer. Of course, I drink water while working out. I just figure I work out to allow myself the joy of drinking and eating what I want with in reason.

FWIW, my Naturopath told me that caffeine helps stimulate the liver. It provides a number of benefits that I've since forgotten as well. The key is not needing it, but enjoying it solely.

Potatoes and coffee are my main gripes with Sisson. If you buy his main hypothesis regarding eating what you would encounter naturally X years ago, potatoes clearly fall into the "eat" category and coffee into the "don't eat".

That being said, I'm not actively seeking out potatoes, but I'm not going to avoid them as actively as I do bread, pasta, rice, sugar, etc...

I personally eat potatoes. I like the fact they're not really modified at all.

As for coffee, Bucky, I'm not seeing anywhere that he says to not have it. Most of the time, he talks about having his morning coffee. Where are you seeing it? And also, I like how Mark always says that it's ultimately up to the individual. These aren't rules as much as guidelines.

I have a neighbor who swears by these for high protein/low fat/no preservatives.

I tried the elk sausage with some white cheddar cheese and it was great, but I was imbibing at the time.

Sisson and the paleo crowd have recanted some issses they has with potatos and white rice regarding lectins recently iirc. I will search for links later.

Nah, my grumble is that coffee is okay by him. Shit, if you want to talk about something that takes a ridiculous amount of processing to make it potable, coffee is more processed than probably any food on his list.

Interesting. Rice was another one that didn't really make sense to me to be on his no-no list, but I wasn't going to argue it since I don't really like rice.

Except when its wrapped around sushi.

My biggest gripe with rice and potatoes is nutritional density. Which is near 0. A good after workout carb source if none better is available but that is about it
